Carolina Panthers quarterback Cam Newton has a Heisman Trophy, a national championship and three Pro Bowl berths in his first five season.
And it appears Newton soon will be adding another accomplishment to his bio – the NFL’s Most Valuable Player award.
An Observer survey of the voters who participate in the Associated Press NFL MVP balloting found that, barring a very bad performance in Sunday’s regular-season finale against Tampa Bay, Newton will be the MVP when it’s announced Feb. 6 at the NFL Honors presentation the night before Super Bowl 50.
The Observer attempted to contact all 50 voters, half of whom responded.
